Surfing for Farmers
It’s a chance to get farmers off farm during the busy time of the year and give them a chance to step away from what can be a very consuming business. Running from December to March, every Tuesday 5:30pm at Midway Beach. AgFirst Gisborne in conjunction with Gisborne Boardriders kicked off Surfing for Farmers in December 2018.
Holiday Programmes
School holidays are a perfect opportunity to learn new things and have fun experiences across codes and organisations. We run multiple school holiday programmes with other sports codes or organisations such as YMCA or the Tonui Collab throughout the year.
